If you said cut through steel, you’d be wrong:
If you like to make home made blow torches but are vegetarian/vegan, you can follow the link for the vegan version, involving a cucumber and some bread sticks.
Fun Stuff
Taco Town
I could have sworn I posted this video before, but I couldn’t find it anywhere on my blog. It seems to come up all the time, maybe due to the types of links I post about food. Anyway, it’s a great SNL fake commercial about an awesome food item. (I apologize for the idiot laughing over the top of the video the whole time, I was too lazy to try to find a better one)
So what do you think? Who’s up for making one with me?
More Evie-isms
I think I passed a major milestone as a parent and I just wanted to blog it so that I didn’t forget this magical moment. Evie gave me my first “I don’t love you!” when I was trying to force her to go potty against her will. I imagine this will be the first of many, in fact, I’ve already gotten an “I don’t like you” since then.
There have been a few humorous ones as well:
“When Jen and Derek were here and Daddy catch me [by the face because I fell down the stairs because I was trying to look at Jen and Derek instead of watching where I was going]. I want to do it again!” She has made this statement many times and we’ve had many long talks about why we don’t want to fall down the stairs.
Thanks to Grandma Kathy, Evie insists that she needs to put her “deoder on” because she doesn’t want to “stink”. Sara spend quite a while convincing her she didn’t, in fact, stink.
Finally, this happened awhile ago, but Evie has a book in which a girl goes to the doctor with an injured arm. Knowing that Evie has vivid memories of her own trip to the doctor with an injured arm, Sara asked her, “Why is the girl crying?” Evie responded, “Because she has pony tails!”
In completely unrelated, horrific death news, a man died Wednesday after he fell into an 8 foot vat of molten chocolate. I had a lot of really bad jokes about death by chocolate, rogue oompa-loompas, etc. but I decided it was too soon.
Run Pee
Have you ever sat in a theater, needing to go to the bathroom so bad but trying to hold out for fear of missing a vital piece of the movie? Well, no more! I give you Run Pee.
This is so brilliant. Basically, you look up a movie you want to see and it gives you a little timeline with certain points marked out that are okay to run out of the theater during. Usually these are little scenes that are maybe character builders, but don’t really advance the plot in any way.
It will tell you something like, “An hour 23 into the movie, such and such a character walks into a room and says this” and then tells you, “You have 4 minutes.” So you can look through and find a suitable place to go. And here’s where it gets really brilliant, it will give you a little synopsis of the scene you are missing so you really don’t miss out on anything. But that synopsis is scrambled until you hit a button, so you can check it out without seeing any spoilers!
Godzillionaire
There is a humorous blog I read by the annoyingly named comedian Myq Kaplan (that’s right, his name is Mike spelled Myq) called Godzillionaire. It is kind of hard to explain what this blog is. It’s like a play on words where you combine two words together and then explain why that’s funny. See, there’s just no way to describe it that sounds funny, so I will give you some examples:
Sudan.
Danza.
Sudanza.One of the worst things in history, PLUS genocide in Darfur.
Please help stop these atrocities.
or
Know.
Nothing.
Knowthing.Socrates and Confucius both claimed that true knowledge was in knowing the extent of one’s ignorance.
So if they DIDN’T know that, then they would have been even wiser.
Socrates.
Confucius.
So Confused.
I’ll give you another one:
Adultery.
Terrycloth.
Adulterrycloth.Using a towel that isn’t yours.
Philander.
Drying.
Philandrying.
Well I don’t care what you say, I think it’s funny.
